new ipod mini (2 Viewers)

[breaking]

wtf... so theyre 300 EVERYWHERE from now on??

yep
better battery life now too
but keep in mind that it doesnt come with a charger that u plug into the wall, u have to charge it thru ur computer
which takes like 4 hours or something
that could be heaps inconvenient i reckon

i wonder why they havent implemented a user changeable battery??
It costs 105 US dollars to replace...lol might as well buy another ipod

erm........ no, it costs AU$99

I want one even though I don't need one.

please never watch bert newton or those late night informercials

 

[theone123]

Fads are funny

Marketing is so good that I want one even though I don't need one.

arh the classic ad, hehe, very persuasive power isnt it?

i don't see what is so bad about charging through USB.... i would have thought it would be welcomed.

typically USB charging is slow, too... it's got .5amp output MAX, and sometimes that's spread over multiple USB ports. Alright until your portable device takes many, many hours to charge (ie a palm pilot).

From there it's just a hassle, as not-that-bright said. Give me a wall charger any day. And from there make sure it's 110-250v. grr.

USB chargers are pretty useful if you keep your computer on allday

yeah i've been using my usb charger for the last few days cuz i have nfi where the wall charger is. in reality its prolly just buried under a pile of clothes/papers/other pieces of shit in my room. its a pain in the ass tho cuz say if i cbf getting up to charge it at night, with the wall charger i can usually charge it for 1/2 hr before i go to school and it'll last me thru the school day... usb charging for 1/2 hr might last me 1 free or something.

its kind of annoying i could've waited two months and gotten a better one cheaper but at the same time, mine works, its never frozen, it came with a wall charge and it fits abt 500-600 songs so i have no real issue.
